Left alone can become very emotional and stressful. This can be a difficult experience. But this fear of isolation is simply not only felt by humans. Animals is no exception. Even the dogs, which are considered as human's best friend, suffer the same emotional difficulties.

Dogs are naturally social creatures, they are pack animals. Like babies who develop an attachment to their mothers, dogs, too, developed a very strong bond with their dogs female parents. These dogs just want to be with their territory, where the mother or father can take care of them or provide food through the female dog mammary gland. But once the attachment was dissolved family dog, the dog immediately turned his attention to the owners or their caregivers.

Dogs who become too dependent on their owners did not want to be left alone. When the dogs left behind by their owners, they became very angry. As a "dog of depression" disappointment sets in, they become restless and even damaging condition called Separation Anxiety.

Dogs of War: Psychology In “Metal Gear Solid”

Compared with earlier releases, the new video game has improved in terms of plot and character development. Psychology and personality of the characters - heroes, villains, and the same figure over and over now as important as how to play the game.

However, like in the early days before the comic book Stan Lee's "Spider-Man," a video game characters tend to be flat caricatures of real people, with such lack of social anxiety, fragile mental health, and depression becomes a special feature for the antagonist. However, even in this climate, there are still maverick character designers who have made the difficult hero according to the traditional definition of "hero" role. Among the best examples of these games is Hideo Kojima's "Metal Gear Solid" series.

Being a game that both include psychological warfare and bring a strong pent-pacifist, there is complexity in the cast of characters that is required. To some degree, all characters have some form of mental health disorders, which according to the game which is very dependent on the personality of the characters. While some people may initially see them as an extreme response to their situation, Kojima has been trying hard to present the characters as possible were present when the war meets psychology. Characters from MGS series can be taken to represent the various effects of war on the mental health of a person, whether they are soldiers, commanders, or observer. He demonstrated this through their personalities and their conversations with the protagonist, making them more than to overcome obstacles to complete the game.

Among the longest-standing favorites lot Kojima's antagonist is a woman known only as Sniper Wolf. He may seem perfectly sane at first sight, but few have analyzed the consequences of his personality as a potential growth in a war zone. The experience of living in war-torn Iraq that has left scars that damage the mental health and emotional development. For children who were born and raised in a war zone, the typical response is to find a way out of chaos and destruction. For Sniper Wolf, even after the rescue, with mental health as indicated by experience that the only real way he could cope with prolonged trauma is a part of it. However, probably because some types of anxiety disorders, she also was eager to distance themselves from it. As a soldier, he became part of the very terrorized him as a child. As a sniper, he may be relieved of fear and anxiety as a child to stay away from the front lines, taking the life from behind the scope of his rifle. This theme is one part of what is etched in a repeat of their youth in "Beauty and the Beast" military unit in the upcoming finale of the MGS series, albeit with a more literal interpretation.

Liquid Snake, one of the series' main antagonist, also displays a number of psychological disorders. The initial goal seemed to have little more than "world conquest" standard, but as the plot progresses, it was revealed to be much deeper. As a genetically-changed "twin" to the protagonist, Solid Snake, Liquid showing signs of civil status, causing anxiety. Changed to be the inferior of the two brothers, Liquid encouraged her to perform in every aspect of military life to prove that genetics is not going to lower defines itself. Status anxiety also encourage him to lead an army revolt in an attempt to defeat his father and create a utopia for soldiers. His killer competition with his brother was also encouraged by the status anxiety, because he realized a desire to kill his brother to prove that he is better than both his brother and father. The desire to beat his brothers and his father is a consistent factor in the appearance in the series. He also showed little Messiah complex in his desire to fulfill his father's dream, as he expanded the plan to not only create a haven for soldiers, but also to destroy the government which will be used and remove them.

Status issues also appear a little anxiety in the goals of the Big Boss, Liquid and Solid Snake's "father." A man regarded as "the perfect soldier," his genetic material used to create "children," even as he was one of them modified to be lower than the others. In solidarity, he quickly realized that the time will come when people like him will no longer be required and will be disposed of by the government they served as obsolete junk. Own status anxiety, coupled with frustration at how the U.S. government betrayed mentor to save their reputation, forged the idea of a soldier's utopia in mind. It was during the second attempt to establish a kind of utopia - which he called "Outer Heaven" - that he was killed in battle by Solid Snake, his genetic son. Insisting his refusal to be referred to by the code name "Big Boss" also reflects the status anxiety of the events that led to his many names. He hated the fact that he was awarded that codename because he killed his mentor, "Boss," for the exiled government and left - despite faithful service - just because it is politically convenient to do so. The bitter irony of his name did not escape his attention.

However, perhaps the most interesting psychological cases among the MGS series will be casting my own protagonist, Solid Snake. According to notes scattered throughout the game, Snake show signs of social anxiety at an early age. Trained to be a perfect killer and the most stealth warrior, he was raised to dislike emotional attachment and see the closeness with others as a potential weakness. Social anxiety was reinforced by a second primary mission, where he had to kill her friends and her father to meet its mission objectives. A fight with Gray Fox, his friend, also an instance where he shows the performance anxiety, which is very reluctant to fight a man who was regarded as a friend and fight the winner. His trail status anxiety also play a role in his character, although not in the way most would expect. He views himself not as a hero of the people around him believe he was, but only as "an old killer, hired to do the work wet." He constantly seems to want to prove that he is more than just a soldier he believed himself to be, but it certainly can not get away from the battlefield. Status anxiety His conflict is sometimes played out in subtle, because he no longer wants to be involved in the fighting and just live his life in confinement. However, he understood that he was a soldier and she will always be a soldier, with only one house into a battlefield chaos.

A common feature among the front-line soldier characters from MGS series is their inability to feel grief over the loss. The explanation is that, because they are more and more open to the horrors of war, they began to lose the ability to grieve over the loss of friends and family. This has been described as a side effect of the horrors of war over a soldier's mental health, especially in cases of Big Boss and Solid Snake, who both had to endure the trauma of killing someone that they are emotionally.

Letting Sleeping Dogs Lie

It is also recognized as a medical fact. People dream while they were sleeping and, in theory, animals can also experience dream-like scenario. Apart from the fact that most people do not remember them, this can also be medically ascertained. However, apart from all the effects listed above (and side effects), what exactly do for a person to sleep? A little less clearly known, which may be the reason why so many institutions and research programs to study deep into the scientific facts behind sleep.

Natural growth hormone that the body needs to develop is produced in large numbers during sleep. This is often seen as an explanation of why the people who do not sleep too often eventually become a little shorter than their friends. These hormones are produced at their peak during puberty and tends to stop the production after that. People are still not sure why the body produces more during sleep. There are some who theorize that this is just part of the side effects of sleep, sort, on the grounds that the body is too busy coordinating themselves to actually produce growth hormone. However, this assumption is somewhat debatable because the body is still the same coordinate system during sleep hours as during waking.

According to recent studies, sleep may have the effect of age and welfare. People who experience sleep attacks finally experiencing extreme degenerative state of physical health, with prolonged sleep deprivation becomes deadly. It is still not sure exactly why this happens, despite the fact that this could happen is not being debated. Research shows that people who have lost sleep for long periods of time physically withered. According to some findings, the mind is also highly affected, with anxiety and depression into the potential effects of over-extended awake. This is often associated with disruption of normal production and flow of the central nervous system biochemical agents, which set the mood and emotional stability, among others.


The nervous system also suffered from lack of sleep, according to several new findings. People who do not sleep on a regular basis tend to have unstable moods and poor reflexes. In most cases, vigilance and awareness tend to compromise the environment, often to the point that even simple tasks can require more concentration than usual to perform well. Part of the brain that controls motor functions and reflexes are not the only part that suffers, as a region believed to regulate actions for the social situation is also known as compromised. Currently, there is no certainty to only what happens during sleep that causes this, but there are several theories.

There are several theories related to sleep being tested, what kind of dreams serve a biological purpose, but they are considered less of a concern. Some findings even indicate the possibility that the human body's natural state (and, indeed, any animal's body) will sleep, rather than awake. This is somewhat surprising that sleep, something that is integral and essential to maintain human health, very little understood by medical science. Read more...

How To Know Your Dog's Diet Contains Enough Fatty Acid

Does your pet dog healthy, or your dog's coat does not have a smooth appearance that you want? Does this show the need for more fatty acids in your dog food? A dog food affects all aspects of the body including the skin. If your dog foods contain adequate amounts of fatty acids, and the skin should look healthy. Fatty acids in your dog food will prevent trouble with dry skin and dandruff, for instance. A dull coat may indicate a need for fatty acid supplement in your dog food.

Research shows that essential fatty acids, called EFAs, helping healthy skin, and general health. Omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids, for example, can play an important role in your dog's overall well-being.

Do not assume that adding fatty acid supplements to your dog's diet is always a good idea. If your dog's coat in good condition, adding more EFAs will not automatically improve health. Fatty acid supplements, such as omega 3 and 6, only for dogs diagnosed with skin problems. Always consult with your veterinarian before adding a supplement your dog food. Your veterinarian will be happy to discuss with you the best form of EFAs and the appropriate dose for your dog's diet increase.

Fatty acids are not produced by the body of your dog. For this reason,

Canned Dog Food Vs Dry Kibble

Food affects every aspect of dog health and welfare. You would only want the best for feathered friends. When it comes to choosing what is best for your dog food, you have so many options available. This can be difficult to determine the food will have the most positive effects on dog food and health. Which is better, canned dog food or dry kibble?

The debate between canned dog food and buckets hold since the two varieties have been on the market. What are the advantages canned dog food as the main component of your dog food? Dry bucket is superior to canned dog food? Perhaps, it was just a personal preference between the two varieties.

To help you decide, let us see the advantages of each type of dog food as part of a healthy and balanced diet for your pet. To get the best advice, schedule a visit with a veterinarian to discuss your dog food. You both can talk about how each type of dog food will specifically relate to your pet.

Canned dog food, as the main component of your dog food, have acquired a negative stigma over the years. Many pet owners feel that the cost of canned dog food high and unattractive, especially for larger offspring that require a larger number of daily meals.

Significant benefits cans of dog food is quality. Often, you will find that canned dog food offers a large piece of real meat for your pet. A little extra and fillers found in most canned dog food brand. Knowing the importance of materials of high quality, canned dog food must have a place in a healthy, balanced diet dogs.

Genome Dog May Shed Light On Human Disease

Scientists have managed to sequence the dog genome, an achievement that could lead to better health for humans and dogs. A team of international researchers have published a detailed analysis in the journal Nature.

"From more than 5,500 mammals living today, dogs are arguably the most extraordinary," said senior author Eric Lander, PhD, director of the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard. He is a professor of biology at MIT and systems biology at Harvard Medical School, as well as a member of the Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research.

"The incredible physical and behavioral diversity of dogs from Chihuahuas to Great Danes encoded in their genomes. This unique that can help us understand embryonic development, neurobiology, human disease and the basis of evolution," Dr. Lander notes.

Powerful Tool
"When compared with the human genome and other important organisms, the dog genome provides a powerful tool for identifying genetic factors that contribute to human health and disease," said Francis S. Collins, MD, PhD, director of the National Human Genome Research Institute, which supports research.

"This milestone is especially satisfying because it will directly benefit the animal researchers' efforts to better understand and treat diseases suffered by our faithful friend the dog," said Dr Collins added.

Human pet dog, Canis familiaris, from gray wolves as long as 100,000 years ago. As a result of selective breeding for several centuries, modern dog presents a model of diversity. From the six-pound Chihuahuas to 120-pound Great Danes, from high-energy Jack Russell Terriers to mild-mannered basset dog, and from Shetland sheepdogs with their herd instinct tends to a pointer to the point, humans have bred dogs for desirable physical characteristics and behavior .

Maintenance practices such as the choice of maintaining the characteristics of one generation in the next, but they also affect many dogs genetic disorders, including heart disease, cancer, blindness, cataracts, epilepsy, hip dysplasia and deafness.

Research group found that while the descendants of different shows differences extraordinary physical, they often share large segments of their DNA, perhaps reflecting their common origin recently. As a result, genetic tools being developed at the Broad Institute and NHGRI for any one type of dog that might be useful in genetic experiments in nearly every breed.

Evolutionary Tree
While dogs occupy a special place in the hearts of men, they also sat on the main branch point, relative to humans, the evolutionary tree. It is known that humans share more of their ancestral DNA with dogs more than a mouse. The availability of the dog genome sequence has allowed researchers to describe a common set of genetic elements represent about 5 percent of the human genome are preferentially preserved among human, dog and mouse.

Not evenly, some of these elements are crowded around just a fraction of the genes in the genome. Future studies of this group could give scientists the critical insight needed to unravel how genomes work.
Elaine A. Ostrander, PhD, head of NHGRI Cancer Genetics Branch, is a co-author of the Nature paper, along with postdoctoral research fellows, Heidi G. Parker and Nate B. Sutter. In addition, Dr. Ostrander was the lead author of the white paper that sets forth the reasons for biomedical dog genome sequence.

Dr. Ostrander's laboratory maps genes responsible for susceptibility to cancer, including breast and prostate cancer in canines and humans.
"The main cause of death in dogs are a variety of cancers, and many of them are very similar to human biological cancer." said Dr. Ostrander. "Using the dog genome sequence in combination with the human genome sequence will help researchers to narrow their search for more genetic contributors underlying cancer and other serious diseases."

Genetic Compass
Efforts to create the genetic tools needed for mapping disease genes in dogs have gained momentum over the last 15 years, and have included a partial survey of the poodle genome. More than two years ago, Kerstin Lindblad Toh, PhD, co director of genome sequencing and analysis program at the Broad Institute, and colleagues began the project two parts to assemble a complete map of the dog genome.

First, they obtain high quality DNA sequence covering nearly 99 percent of the genome of the female boxer dog named Tasha. Boxer was chosen as a representative of the average dog to produce what has become a reference sequence for the dog genome community.

Using the sequence information as a genetic "compass," they navigated the genomes of 10 different dog and other dog species concerned, including gray wolves and coyotes.

The researchers identified approximately 2.5 million single nucleotide polymorphisms, or SNPs, sprinkled throughout the dog genome. SNPs are variations in the DNA code, some of which cause disease or the overall health of dogs.

SNPs can also be used to create a set of coordinates with genetic changes to the survey, both inside and on the dog. This effort revealed that the individual has maintained delivery of large amounts of genetic variability, despite their long history of limited breeding.

In practical terms, this means that efforts to seek a future of disease genes in dogs can be much narrower in scope than comparable human studies, which requires a small number of genetic markers and DNA samples collected from blood or cheek from only a few hundred dogs. Read more...

Another way to increase your dog's diet to increase the amount of vitamin B are beans, yeast, and liver. Your dog needs vitamin B in healthy, balanced diet to support healthy skin and muscle.

To prevent the immune system deficiencies, supplement your dog food with added vitamin E. Source of vitamin E can be found in wheat germ, bran, and vegetable oils.

Vitamin K may be other important nutrients in your dog food. Liver, fish, green vegetables, and seeds can provide vitamin K to your dog food. This vitamin will help to improve your dog's blood clotting ability.
Glucosamine can be a great supplement in your dog food. Glucosamine has been shown to improve the health of joints and prevent arthritis your pet.

Completing your dog food can be risky if not done correctly. You may think you are providing your pet excellent vitamins and low in calories by tossing your dog a few grapes or raisins. Some dogs have been known to die from kidney failure due to consuming such fruit. Always seek advice from a professional before completing your dog's diet in any way just in case.

Calcium supplements can be dangerous when used excessively in your dog food. Although calcium is good in moderation to form a strong, healthy bones, too much calcium can create trouble. Large breed dog is given too much calcium can grow bone, but these bones do not have the power they need.

The Raw Dog Diet

Have you ever wondered why dog food comes in big bags filled with tiny kibbles of unknown material compressed? Much of what goes into dog food is not high quality in nature. Eating blood, bone meal, and fat frequently come from animal carcasses containing potentially harmful drugs or disease. Is it time to consider something better for your dog food?

Before marketing and advertisers took over big business, what to eat dogs? We see how the dogs in the wild gain adequate nutrition. A wolf, for example, survived the killing. Animal entrails eaten first. Doing this, the wolf took in grains and vegetables, as well as, enzymes needed for good nutrition. Furthermore, wolves eat meat and some bones. Protein and calcium is now added to the food. This natural diet in the wilderness has been effective in maintaining quality health care for many years. Unlike the domesticated dogs today, these animals generally have immune systems very well.

When your dog food consists mainly of animals that are not healthy, you can not assume that your dog will be unhealthy, as well? Today, veterinarians have seen more problems with the dog's health than ever before.

It is possible to have too much or too little calcium in your dog food. When dog food contains too little calcium, your dog may develop a condition called rickets. This condition creates bones soft bend under the weight your dog.

Conversely, too much calcium can create bone abnormalities, as well. The dog large type, for example, given too much calcium as puppies in their diet, will develop low bone density large. Problem with the bone strength is caused by a large amount of calcium supplements.

When your dog food contains the proper levels of calcium, such as rare bone disorder. This is just one more reason for carefully selecting the right food for your dog. Always consult with your veterinarian to determine the best amount of calcium in your dog food.

Calcium plays an important role in your dog food, but vitamins and other nutrients work hand in hand with calcium. Some minerals are interdependent. Calcium happens to be one of the minerals as nutrients.

Calcium works together with phosphorus. The balance of the two nutrients calcium and phosphorus must exist in a healthy ratio to ensure the dog food that will maximize the potential benefits for your pet. Research involving animal nutrition show that the ratio of 1,0-2,0 calcium should be coupled with 1.0 parts of phosphorus. When calcium and phosphorus ratios vary from this range, the results of bone problems.

Dogs special diet consisting of meat, will not provide the right amount of calcium and phosphorus to create healthy bones. Such a diet produces a ratio of about 1.0 parts to 18 parts of calcium phosphorus. The range of absorption is where the problem begins.

Vitamin D is another nutrient that affects the absorption of calcium and phosphorus. If the dog food shortages by the amount of vitamin D, other nutrients will not provide all the benefits for your pet. Excessive amount of vitamin D can have toxic effects on your dog. It is important to maintain appropriate levels of vitamin D in your dog food. Once again, to feed your dog food from reputable companies will allow you confidence to know that your dog a healthy diet.

During pregnancy or while breast-feeding your dog, higher calcium is important in your dog food. At this time, feed your pet extra amounts of a balanced dog food. You do not need to supplement your pet at this time.

Milk fever, or eclampsia, can not be avoided by taking calcium supplements. Eclampsia is not a lack of nutrition, but a metabolic condition that affects the dog after the dog has been born and begin nursing.

Avoid your dog food supplement with calcium or other nutrients without specific discussion with your veterinarian. When calcium, for instance, is out of balance, health can really be done in the negative. Feeding your dog a balanced diet is very important. Dog food company's reputation has researched animal nutrition to ensure the best health for your dog. Dog food provides a healthy, balanced formula may be the best way to keep your pet. Read more...
